July 25 - Indiana Dulcimer Festival

This two day festival took place in Woodburn, IN, not far from Fort Wayne and was such a well organized, relaxed, and friendly festival that included some of the best instructors in the dulcimer world.  There was some neat technology going on, too.  Instructors would sit facing the class but a camera hung over  them and the projected image was flipped so to us it looked like we were looking over his shoulder instead of at a mirror image of what we were trying to do.  They also had a computer and camera set up that would automatically send a copy of the photo to you via email.  We opted for this group shot.  Left to right: Jerry and Sandy (We met them at Sleeping Bear Dunes in 2007.), Mary Jane (We met her in Mountain View two years ago.) and Nancy (We met her in Mountain View last year.).

Sandy enjoying a ride, too.

A while back, Jen sent us a link of Bing Futch playing the dulcimer and told us how much she liked him so of course I had to have my photo taken with him so I could send it to her.  Bing is an amazing player, singer, and performer and such an upbeat and kind person.
